Kim Jong-un named supreme commander of N. Korean military

North Korea's new leader, Kim Jong-un, has been appointed the supreme commander of North Korea's 1.1-million-strong military, the communist
nation's media reported Saturday.

The decision, one of the clearest signs, at least outwardly, that Kim is rapidly solidifying power, came at a meeting of the Political Bureau of the
Central Committee of the Workers' Party on Friday, according to Pyongyang's official news agency, KCNA, monitored in Seoul.

I was hoping that Kim Jr. would adopt a new policy to help the people of NK who have suffered for so long but regrettably the vibe I'm getting is that
he will be just as much of a hardliner as his dad.

You have to worry about anyone with a barnet like that.

He looks like some member of an obscure 1980s electropop band.

I was about to say that he looks like he's about 15 years old. And that's not a good thing given the fact that he's just been given the keys to a
paranoid communist regime with the bomb.

Yah, he does look a bit like a kid !

but he is an educated boy.

He attended the English-language International School of Bern, Switzerland, until 1998 under a pseudonym.[18][19][20][21][22] Former classmates
have asserted that he attended Gümligen International School or Liebefeld public school. In Liebefeld, he told his friend Joao Micaelo that he was
the son of the North Korea leader, though Micaelo said he didn't believe him at the time.

I hope i'm wrong but Kim Jong Un looks mentally ill he just doesn't look well at all, he has that psychopathic look in his eye, he's been a spoilt
little brat all his life and has also probably got one hell of a short man syndrome /anger issues

I think Kim Jong Ill got wiser in his old age and more forgiving, this new Kim Jong will not be so... i think he's going to be the same as his father
just worst, he will either run the country into the ground even further through his lack on experience or do something very very stupid,

Actually i would disagree with you somewhat. His demeanor is one of self-assurance. He also is highly intelligent (he speaks four languages says it
all really) For me, only have to look at his eyes to know, he will not be pushed around easily by the top brass of the northern Korean military!! He
might look about 17 and be a chubby looking Northern Korean Kid, but just looking at him, I knew instantly he is well up to speed on what''
happening around him.,

!!!! Met him, have you? I get a different vibe off the man. He was chosen because of his resemblance to his grandfather. Hopefully he also has a
brain. And isn't ronery.

I think the new leader will tread carefully at first, but he could be a real terror after he gains some experience. I would like to hope he'll care
about the welfare of his fellow countrymen and women, but I get the impression that's low on his list of priorities. Time will tell.
